Well it's not purple it's pink. But my dd now has several pink yarny braids
in her hair. She's liking them. Well, Ok she's asleep right now, but she
did like them breifly before she fell asleep..

They're not perfect. It's a skill in progress on my part but it's fun.

Sandra, does it work with embroydery floss? Well I mean I know it WOULD
work but have you ever tried it? it would give it a bit more shine. I
might have to try that tomorrow. Oooo or maybe ribbons!

I have two in my own hair as well. I used just one piece of string and two
strands of hair. Attached it using your method and braided it. They came
out pretty good.

I also spent a good couple hours in the middle of a patch of clover flowers
this afternoon braiding a flower garland. I've always wondered how they did
it. And after reading a book about a greek myth (Chloe and Daphnaes) in
which they repeatedly braided flower garlands I had to figure out how it was
done. So with much trial and error and a little bit of thought on the
matter I figured out how to do it. Or at least *a* way to do it. It's fun.
And it's surprisingly a lot like the yarn braids Sandra explained. LOL

Well there's MY unschooling moment that took place while my kids played
endlessly on the swingset. :)

Yep it works with almost anything. Kass & Kree have primarily dark brown
hair, that naturally lightens to blond streaks during summer. They love when that
happens because then when they so their yearly braids, The whole head of deal,
that look cool because of all the colors. They have had people walk up to
them and just about stick their noses right next to their heads to see why there
is so many colors. From that we discovered, during the times when their hair
is darker, when they want that look with out actually putting chemicals on
their hair we use different shades of embrodery floss. All the colors similar to
their haris when it sreaks. It has been way cool and at least when they get
tired of it, you just take out the braids. They just asked for red white and blue
to be weaved in if my hands work well enough to braid by 4 th of July.

Good luck, thay are tons of fun.

Rhonda

P.S. Oh I forgot to mention the use of cord and ribbon. Both work eqully well
and with some of those gold and silver cords, it can be very vibrant on those
with dark hair.

Holy shmoly, did I screw that sentence up or what? Sorry everyone, it should
read:

They love when that happens (the natural streaks) because when they do their
yearly braids, the whole head kind of deal, they look cool because of all the
colors.

Rhonda - obviously not planning on braiding with these fingers today.

Sure. Anything. Ribbons can be slippery, so it all depends on the hair.
(They're expensive, too, relatively. After Christmas crafts stores sometimes
sell the little cardboard ribbon-spools half price, so you can get the gold
ribbon sometimes cheap, and for SCA Twelfth Night feasts that's been good, or for
fixing people up for something formal.)

There's some yarn with metallic thread in it (not really metallic, I'm
thinking, but gold- or silver-looking threads that are really plastic). Some yarn
is shinier than some embroidery stuff. There's the chenille yarn too, which is
kinda fuzzy.

I use the crochet cotton to do those twists with my boys hair. Like the ones
they do at Disney and Universal etc. My boys like to add different beads on
the end.

The fake hair was extremely cheap. Lexie needed to packages and they
were about $2.50 each package. Janene needed 1 1/2 packages. That's
cheaper than yarn, I'd think.... It look stotally cool.
